Will Deacon 50243efde0 ARM: perf: add devicetree bindings for 11MPcore, A5, A7 and A15 PMUs
This patch adds separate devicetree bindings for 11MPcore and
Cortex-{A5,A7,A15} PMUs in preparation for improved devicetree parsing
in the ARM perf-event CPU PMU driver.

* ARM Performance Monitor Units
ARM cores often have a PMU for counting cpu and cache events like cache misses
and hits. The interface to the PMU is part of the ARM ARM. The ARM PMU
representation in the device tree should be done as under:-
Required properties:
- compatible : should be one of
"arm,cortex-a15-pmu"
"arm,cortex-a9-pmu"
"arm,cortex-a8-pmu"
"arm,cortex-a7-pmu"
"arm,cortex-a5-pmu"
"arm,arm11mpcore-pmu"
"arm,arm1176-pmu"
"arm,arm1136-pmu"
- interrupts : 1 combined interrupt or 1 per core.
Example:
pmu {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
interrupts = <100 101>;
};
